HP iPAQ Hw6915 Mobile Messenger

The iPAQ hw6915 is a Windows Mobile 5 Pocket PC Phone Edition device that marries a PDA with a GSM mobile phone. The iPAQ is quad band world phone which supports the 850/900/1800/1900MHz bands and will work anywhere in the world GSM service is available. It has EDGE and GPRS for wide area data and WiFi 802.11b for use with hotspots, home and work wireless local area networks. The Mobile Messenger has Bluetooth 1.2, a 1.3MP camera with flash, a thumb keyboard, Mini SD slot and an internal GPS. In the US, the iPAQ ships with Pocket Streets and a 30 day demo of HP GPS Navigation System software. The Cingular version has a 30 day trial of TeleNav which gets maps from TeleNav's server on demand rather than using desktop software to load large maps. The iPAQ hw6900 series runs on a 416MHz XScale processor which improves on the hw6515's 312MHz CPU.

Advantages: GPS, WiFi, Bluetooth, TELEPHONE. . . WHAT IS ALL
Disadvantages: The 240X240 screen that does not conform to all programs

...first was a RZ1715 of Hp and also because it is pleased with this I opted for a Pda mobile, GPS, wifi, bluetooth etc. ... We, who have everything built, and what he had seen in the market at that time I decided to This ... The pda hw6915 is not a pda either, it is more like a notebook in the palm of your hand, is a mobile one pass, you can take pictures and videos to a quality more than acceptable taking into account the limitations of the cameras ...
...you program comes with GPS which you can update, security hp, GPS technology built satellites that will detect smoothly even in areas with tall buildings and without the need to adjust any external antenna, the telephone ... Well, that's a phone call to get that is fine, as long as they think that you have so many roles in pda, and that if you have several programs open, it may slow the system and make the phone receives a signal pelin afternoon. ...

Advantages WiFi/GPS/Phone/'Keyboard' etc
Disadvantages Battery life could be better; Camera average

...I've had mine now for over 3 months and must say I am very impressed with the device. My previous PDA was an iPaq 3630, so needless to say, the HW6915 packs a heck of a lot more. The WiFi works very well, with the option to sacrifice battery life for antenna power. Bluetooth again very simple to set up - linked to my handsfree earpiece no problem. The phone works well, once you get over the size of the unit compared to a normal mobile; great for text messages though! The camera isn't all that great, the pictures are OK, but my phone also has a 1.3mp camera and appears to provide higher quality photos. The flash on the HW6915 camera really isn't that great, providing very grainy shots in low light. The GPS really works very well. I was a little unsure how good it would be, considering it isn't the most recent chip set... Read review

Advantages Built in GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Thumboard
Disadvantages Small keys

...I have been using iPaqs for many years and have recently upgraded from a H5550 to this HW6915. I am amazed by the speed and response of this device compared to that of my previous. The built in gps is fantastic, and works with TomTom a treat. The miniSD card slot makes an ideal accessory port for the larger cards, giving loads of storage. The phone works well, had it connected via Bluetooth to my Nokia Car Kit and Headset and the quality is clear at boths ends. The battery performance seams good, as the device is in hot standby and not OFF after you press the power button, giving an instant reponse when powering up. When in standby, the phone will still ring when you recieve a call or text. The GPRS service is reasonable, so the Active Sync works fine and the browser is a full HTML browser, and not a mini HTML or simple HTML... Read review

Advantages Great Features, easy to use
Disadvantages Weak technology, highly underpowered, too many faults

...the device hasnt had its programs fully shut down (running in the background - the device is running low on resources) and a call is recieved, the answer key, doesnt work, meaning of course - a missed call (most annoying!) On the positive side, the concept of the device is awesome, its functions are awesome, its just the pooled technology hasnt worked - it clearly wasnt tested before its release, and for me, was bought for about £1000. HP cant help, as I bought this in Dixons in Holland, and live in the UK, and the serial doesnt match up for their UK database - their customer support for other devices, is very good.... Read review
